... handbreak totally ruins the interior of the car. The center console on the 5's looks so cool without the idiotic handbreak sticking out like something from a different era, the pre-electronics.

Speaking of pre-historic, does anyone know if F32 will get LED lights at the back? I'm suspect BMW will go LED on the F30s for next year model (about 10 years behind everyone else). So will the F32 have LEDs?

The BMW Z4 is not having great success because it didn't offer a proper mechanical handbrake

BMW made the right choice for the 3/4 series coupe/convertible by keeping the traditional handbrake...

5 series is based on the 7 chassis, therefore electric parkbrake... sadly for the M5...

i agree with you on the LED, seems like BMW is lagging everyone on the electronic department, HUD existed on several other car manufacturers for more than 7 years already... it's taking BMW at least a full generation of model car before they incorporate the same technology...
... The worse is that BMW is charging extra for those "premium" item...

Must be Mad as myself for willing to buy a brand new BMW...

ps: by the way, Autoblog has first pics of 4 series hard top convertible...

I am still not feeling this car... I decided a while ago that I was going to get this when it came out and make it the new shop car but I donno.. Hopefully it improves as the camo comes off. At this point I like the look of my e92 better....

Just got back from the dealership...while getting service performed to my e92 I spoke to one of the CA's about the F32 coupe. The CA said to expect it to be out by the end of the year with EDs available around the same time or beginning of the year. I am confused because I thought it wasn't supposed to come out under the end of next year. Is this all true???

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but what is a "CA"? I assume "EDs" means "Early Deliveries" or something similar? Thanks.

The German auto publication Auto motor und sport has published a render of the upcoming 4er Coupe which is highly reflective (percentage) wise of the actual appearance of the car.

The bloodline remains , but the details change...
The 4er becomes more sharper in every design aspect as it embodies a very personal sporting character.
The car is very much indicative of a more smaller compact 6er and a perfect evolution for the current E92 Coupe.

I have included a spyshot to continue the ongoing debate which many overlook in their interpretations that it is not a 2dr 3er and that the Coupe will have a more dynamic roofline and a sportier appearance. The sharper look is reflective of why the car now becomes the BMW 4er.
